Those plastic straws and carrier bags,
     Used once and thrown away,
And other plastic throw-aways 
       Don’t go but quietly stay.

​

These and all other plastic things
       Pollute our land and sea,
And yet, with thought, this can be stopped,
      And yes, by you and me.

​

The creatures of our natural world
       Don’t want our human waste.
Their world, that’s shared with all of us,
       Has sadly been defaced.

​

We lived our lives in years gone by
     Without this dreadful scourge
And only, in quite recent times,
      We’ve seen this mess emerge.

​

It’s like a nightmare, but much worse,
      From which  we cannot wake,
And have we left it far too long
      To put right our mistake?

​

Before more of our world is killed,
      And birds and beasts are dead,
Reject plastic in all its forms.
     Use natural stuff instead.

​

We'll fight the war on plastic things,
      And, yes, for sure it’s war,
For if we don’t, the time will come
     When our world will  be no more.
